Email Security Challenges

In today’s data driven economy, organizations are constantly exchanging large volume of data in a variety of formats through a number of channels (e.g. cloud, B2B) with its customers, vendors, and partners. Most organizations experience some form of data breach because of sensitive data loss via their e-mail systems. While office 365 and most other email systems come with a basic data loss prevention program, They do not address some of the key data loss risks namely:

Cannot detect sensitive information in image files or in files that have embedded images

Cannot detect sensitive data in large attachments (over 2 MB)

Ignore emails that are sensitive (e.g. budget information, customer information) but do not have any sensitive data pattern (e.g. social security number)

Sensitive information is defined as any information whose unintended and unauthorized disclosure could adversely impact the financial and reputational position of the firm.

Email encryption often gives a false sense of security against intentional or accidental data loss. Most email encryption solution comes with weak sensitive data detection program and relies on the user to determine whether or not to encrypt the email. The smarter organizations often use server side robust data loss programs in conjunction with the email encryption solution. Please download the whitepaper

More importantly, Pricchaa can analyze each outgoing and incoming emails to do the following if it detects sensitive information using a deterministic pattern or predictive analytics:

Create an alert for the user or admin

Encrypt the email automatically and deliver it to the recipient

Block the email for further investigation

In addition to detecting and protecting sensitive error, Pricchaa analyzes the email behavior pattern of a user and can prevent accidental or intentional data breaches via email. For example, a bank sent 60000 emails containing customer privacy information to a single external email address within a span of 4 hrs. Pricchaa will flag this as an odd behavior and will be able to block any such emails.
